Washington Heights
The Yoyogi National Gymnasium

Washington Heights was a US military housing complex built in 1946 during the Allied occupation of Japan. It was located next to the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken, built in 1920. For the 1964 Summer Olympics, the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, designed by Kenzo Tabge, was built on the site of Washington Heights, and the houses were used for the athletes' village. Today, the site includes Yoyogi Park, the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, the NHK Broadcasting Centre and other facilities.
